- Опубликовано: 15 окт 2024
- Episode 107 is a big one! All the Monster Fish from the 3000 Gallon Amazon Aquarium get moved over to the new 4500 gallon Xingu River Aquarium. The 3000 gallon now starts the transformation into the new Predator Bay 3000 marine predator aquarium....oh and I start building 2 x 1500 gallon DIY builds in the Fish Basement Annex!

“ I got 4 leftover screws and a tube of silicone, might as well build two more tanks” love it 😂😂 we are all living vicariously through you buddy!
Haha...I have addiction don't I 😊😊
How does this guy not have more subscribers??? His tanks are awesome
Simple, despite watching all of his videos and getting notifications constantly, I was apparently not subscribed, fixed that
Because not many people are building aquariums...
Between builds, some colorful high quality filming and playlists would definitely draw viewers! These large tanks and naturalistic environments are really making some happy fish! 🌞🎈🍻Let's face it. He is doing all of this by himself... Quite amazing to me! ⭐😃
He doesn't do gimmicks and partake in foolishness. Today's audience revels in that unfortunately. If u look at every channel that has quality information, they have low subscriber numbers when compared to those that partake in nonsense and stupidity....
No gimmicks and no drama thank goodness!!! Just reality end experience 😊
I've thought the same thing.
I love the enrichment you try hard to provide for your fish. No empty tanks with bored looking monster fish packed in
Agreed, those bare bottom, empty tanks packed full of monster fish are just depressing....in my opinion.
Man, the 4500 looks so beautiful. Crazy how the monster fish make it look so peaceful. I could watch it for hours.
They have been completely chill since the have been in there....who knew the 3000 gallon was crimping their style 😊😊
It’s amazing to see monster fish in an actual monster-sized aquarium! Thank you for bringing us along on this build! Looking forward to seeing it continue to develop.
My pleasure! I just love seeing the big boys swimming so calmly in their new tank, I really feel like they are enjoying it 😊
The 4500 is just incredible. I am really glad you added the dock feature.
I hope you're taking the time to sit in front of it and enjoy it!!
Definitely on both of those...the fish dig the dock...and I am digging watching them all cruise the length of the tank...never gets old 😊
You can always do a full build video after they are all built to get an extra video for ones who want to watch it all at once. New tanks with fish looks great.
I am doing just that for the 4500 gallon...a start to finish video of the entire build...probably be like 2 hours long lol 😀😀
Wow the aqua scape really made the tank!!!!!! So jealous
Thanks! wait til those river bank plants grow in fully...going to be a proper jungle river tank then! 😊
Wow, those fish are some stunners. I love the project!
Thank you! Cheers! 😀
Epic build, thanks for taking us for a ride.
Thanks for watching! 😀
The most exciting channel in all of "Fish-dom"! Keep those videos and work-outs coming! lol Thanks.
You aren't kidding about the workouts...so much hardscape to remove from the 3000 gallon 😀
They look so cool hanging out under the dock. That was a great idea for this setup!
I had a feeling the Bass would love the dock! 😀
Such a dream tank, Great Job!
Hey! I am a big fan of your 880 diy tank, lot's of beautiful Bass and Pike in that bad boy! 😀😀
They look amazing in the 4500!
Thanks! 😀😀
The fish color looks great under the flood lights.
It better look good...I paid $20 bucks each for those lights! 😀😀
This dudes channel will blow up his tanks are too insane for it not to.
😊
Thanks for the video very exciting, relaxing and satisfying. Part of big aquarium to see how it's built hardscape after removing water , like I were there and could participate in action. Besides this "smaller" 3000 gallon aquarium is big enough that many public aquariums can envy, could have the same.
Lol "smaller" 3000 gallon cracked me up 😀😀
Incredible result
Thanks! 😀
If you keep making videos, I'll keep watching 'em. Really enjoying coming along for the ride. Those fish are looking so good in the 4500 gallon!
You've been here since the beginning Phil...I always look forward to your comments...so you are stuck here now 😀😀
@@AquariumDomain. 🙂 happy to hear that, AD. Stay warm this week!
Your flag tail is one of the most beautiful I've seen anywhere 😉👍🏻
I don't disagree, I love that fish! 😀😀
That net you raised up had me laughing so hard. :D
😀😀
"Accident" LOL. The big boys look great and I look forward to seeing all your crazy work my guy!
Hehe 😀 funny thing is in comparison to the 4500 building 2 x 1500 gallon tanks is like eh no big deal lol 😀😀
@@AquariumDomain. 🤣
It's mind-boggling... but those massive fish in that tank are probably the equivalent of putting 3 or 4 neons in a 55! It looks awesome!!! :)
I need to show them in the next video....they are totally acclimated now and just cruising the tank...it takes them a while to go from end to end lol 😀
I love how the 4,500 isn’t over crowded with to many fish !!!
More fish additions are coming, but in general I like to under stock all of my tanks to make the ecosystems more manageable and stable.
that flag tail is incredible !
Agreed! 😀😀
Awesome!! Can’t wait for all the up and coming episodes during 2024. Definitely my favorite fish-channel. Great work!👍👍👍
Awesome! Thank you! 2024 won't disappoint...literally a ton of big projects going on this year! 😀
Love your idea of the dock and I love what a fish magnet it is for those bass. All the fish colors looking beautiful under the lights too. So nice to see big fish get a proper habitat. Thanks for showing the builds 💚🐟💚
Thank you! I knew after the first day of having fish in the 4500 that the dock was a good idea...the fish just love it...really all of them spend a ton of time there. 😀
That aquarium is absolutely insane. It looks fantastic.
Thank you! 😊
I would love to see an Emperor Snakehead in there AD and a river fly turtle ,The list is endless to be honest .So much room for
activities 😁
Hehe 😀😀
Been watching this build from the beginning. Absolutely unreal best of luck with it.
Can't wait to see it in a year's time when it's all matured 😍
Me too, I find it takes about a year for these really big tanks to get completely established and really shine! 😀😀
Those fogos are so awesome!🔥 Orinocos have long been my favorite, but i think those fogos might be my new favorite bass.
Exactly the same for me...always though Orinoco were my favorite, but the Fogo's colors are nuts! 😀😀
WOW, I'm absolutely impressed with the tank. You did an incredible job. I cannot wait until I'm ready to follow you, and believe me; I'm working on it. I know though, it's a process. Congratulations again Fam, later.
Thank you! The design process and dreaming about building it is part of the fun as well. 😊😊
typically i dont like monster fish keeping due the the size per swim space. But this is one of the first times, im actually fine with it. Im sure theyre going to really enjoy the new tank so props to you.
I agree, hate to see any fish in tanks that aren't big enough to provide a decent habitat.
That’s Oscar is huge! All the the fish look amazing in the 4500 gallon 😮
He is a beast, about 17.5" 😀
Awesome video thanks for the update!!!
Any time Skip! 😀😀
amazing how those huge peacocks just fit right in without overwhelming the tank ..... you're the man 👊 cant wait for the next adventure 👍
I can't wait to show an update on them in the next video...they are just loving cruising the tank...it is so cool to watch 😀
Your basement is part of my dreamhouse. Keep on living big!
😊 That's awesome!
you're an absolute legend, what an incredible tank!
Too king, but thanks! 😀😀
Made me think of the song "from the window to the wall"
Lil Jon 😀😀
Absolutely amazing, my favourite channel. I just wish I had your energy and you have a full time job as well.
Thank you very much! Keeping the energy level up week after week is definitely the challenging part 😀
Those fish are stunning 🤩!!! The tank is also next level 👍
Thank you! 😀😀
Been following the journey. So awesome to see fish in!
Definitely! 😀
Thanks for sharing! Absolutely beautiful tank! Hope those little Oscars tack on some mass soon. Really interested to see your take on the 600 Nano tank.
Thanks! I will give an update on all the fish in the 4500 in the next video now that everyone has settled in. 😊
Water quality looks insane
Wetland filters kick butt! 😀😀
Bro amazing. I have been following the whole story. Amazing. Well done
Thank you so much 😀 In a sense this tank is just getting started 😀
F@!*in awesome…… the day we been waiting for, looks beautiful, great job
Thanks! 😀😀
Stingrays might be a risk cus of their barbs as they drop them regularly and the other bottom dwellers might impala or accidentally eat them during feeding time 😅 tank looks amazing nonetheless pleasure to watch 🙌🔥
This is incredible mate. Keep it up! Showing how these fish should really be kept!!
Thanks! Watching the big boys cruise this tank is so sweet! 😊😊
Absolutely amazing!
Thanks! 😀
Your channel and tanks are tops and I always get excited when I see you've uploaded a new video. Tanks of our dreams!! 😄
Thanks! I am excited for Predator Bay 3000! 😀😀
Awesome fish and tank thanks for sharing can’t wait when it’s complete 🎥🤙🏾
Thanks 👍
I love but hate watching your videos as I am jealous of your massive tanks! I would love to have just one monster tank like 2 k gallons 😫
Live vicariously through my builds until you can get the right situation for your own. 😀
you're living my dream! One day, one day... lol. Awesome tank and great plans for the stock!
Thanks! 😊😊
I think a go pro camera submersed for hours in your bigger aquariums would make cool and relaxing videos.
Agreed! Unfortunately no way a Gopro battery would last longer than 30 min or so 😊
Would have been fun watching you catch the fish. But I'm loving every bit of it man. You should make a trip to Ohio fish rescue and adopt some monster's. I'll say it again your setups are the best on RUclips and I watch every fish influencer amazing!
Unfortunately as a one man band it is pretty hard to catch, move and film all at the same time 😊 But I do have cool footage of them enjoying their new home for the next video! 😊😊
Ha ha you cracked me up with your little net
I bought that net as a goof, but it has actually come in handy a bunch of times 😀😀
Great video! Just "casually" showed it to my wife to make the 500 plywood I'm planning on building to look tiny. I think it did the trick 😁
That's awesome! I am happy to help the cause lol 😊😊
MOM (Jeremy) you need a aquarium tech on the payroll.
If I could afford to have a payroll, that would be great! 😀😀
The stingrays will look really cool in this huge tank. If I had as much space as you do, I'd build one just like it. But at the moment I'm still happy with my 600 gallon nano tank with lots of wild discus 😂
600 gallon with lots of wild Discus sounds awesome! 😊
That flagtail is massive.
He doesn't miss many meals 😀😀
Looking great , glad to hear all has gone well, starting the new builds too, you must be a sucker for punishment haha 😆 all the best fella, see you in the next one.
Thanks! 😊 Yeah I get carried away sometimes 😊😊
Your big fish probably feel like they won the lottery in the that giant 4500 gallon tank!
They are definitely loving the dock...if only I could remember who suggested that LOL 😀😀
Incredible looking aquarium. I was never a fan of monster fish because no one keeps them in adequate aquariums, until now. I'm a fan now.
Thanks George! In my book there is nothing better than watching the monster fish cruising back an forth in a 33 ft long aquarium....mesmerizing lol 😊😊
"nano 600 gallon" 😂
My wife came in to see what I was laughing so hard about. Redefines the word "Nano".
😂
😀😀
I love your channel, my dad is getting back into the hobby after roughly 15 years and has been getting me into it too with your channel. Your videos are so exciting and I’m in awe of all the work you do🤙🏽👏
Thanks! That is awesome to hear that both you and your dad are getting the aquarium itch 😊 such a fun hobby!
@@AquariumDomain. indeed!
Underrated channel
😊😊
🔥🔥🔥so amazing ! The fish look phenomenal in there ! Can’t wait for what else is in store ! 😎💪🏾
Thanks! 2024 is going to be one hell of a year for fish basement projects! 😀😀
Love the builds! Just found ur channel and watched this all the way through. Wish there was more time lapse and footage of the actual work would make it better. Got me wanting to make a diy aquarium in my fish room
Welcome to the channel! That itch to try a diy aquarium is how it all starts 😊😊
That is a beautiful aquarium.
Thanks! 😊
Man, this is next level! Looks great!
Thanks! 😀😀
You got to be proud ❤ this incredible.. great job bro… loved this build.. so inspired
Thanks! It definitely feels good to complete such a large project and get to enjoy it! 😀
This is very nicely done and love the stocking amount hate when people cram monster fish and don't give them enough room to breathe
Thank you! I hear you on the over crowded tanks, not good for the fish and in my opinion not enjoyable to look at either 😊
This has really come together well, bravo! 🎉 One concern I have is that when you build those other 2 aquariums you won't have the opportunity to sit back and take the whole tank in. Is there enough room to sit and relax between the big tank and the 2 new ones? Looks only about 4 feet space? Do you hope to keep the nutrient levels more under control in this tank? I see a lot of tough black algae in your previous installation, while it's not any harm to the fish, it's very unsightly. I would 3xpect the big filter should be more than enough to keep it stable. Good luck, I look forward to seeing this mature. You changed my mind on your scape 👌
It is a little over 4 feet and the open area in the middle is 12 feet, so about a 10 foot isle to the left and right. I mocked up some wood to check the view and from the human eye it is unobstructed, but from the camera you have to pivot side to side....anyways I am still deciding 😊
The 3000 never had nearly enough water flow, mechanical or clean up crew for big messy Cichlid and Bass, everything about the new build is to correct those issues. 😊
@AquariumDomain. Great to see you moved it back a little as in your latest video, I think that's going to make all the difference to you!
I’ve enjoyed your vids, can’t wait for the future builds especially more room for the growing sharks
Thanks! Predator Bay 3000 is going to be a fun build for sure! 😊😊
Your 4500 gallon tank is extraordinary! Your beautiful monster fish don’t take up much space in there. That red atabapo pike cichlid looks majestic in there and I am sure he’s enjoying swimming in all those caves and exploring his new mansion tank. 😂 that big red Oscar is huge I don’t think I’ve ever seen an Oscar that big. He will definitely be the king 👑 Oscar fish in there. Looking forward to all your future projects and learning from you so I can build some monster tanks or ponds in the future.
I have been really surprised how much the fish seem to love the 4500, they all just seem so calm now and watching them cruise back and forth is just the best! 😊
This is going to be an extra busy year.
💯% 😀😀
Dude. Your tanks are absolutely amazing honestly. Most impressive setups I’ve seen on all of RUclips. Hell of a job!
Also, that Oscar you moved in is HUGE! Lol. He or she has to be 15 inches right?
Thanks! I measured the Oscar and he is 17" - 17.5", wild caught from Venezuela and grew up his whole life in the 3000 gallon. 😀
amazing work of art my friend. the thing we do for the animals we love.
Thank you so much 😀
You totally need some zebra Acari for the 4,500 Xingu River. They are a native pleco and are absolutely stunning. They may be protected though. It’s worth looking into.
I will look into them 😊
Beautiful work bro! I have a 12 yr old 18" flag tail. They get really nice as they get bigger. Love the bass! Regarding adding in more flagtails, I would add in another 4 to make a group of 5. The more the better off u will be. They do horribly in pairs.
I never knew how much I love the Flagtail until I had one, now I am with you...more the better! 😀
@@AquariumDomain. algae won't be a concern lol
This video did not disappoint! Any chance you could make a video that goes through the things you are doing differently with this tank and predator bay, since you're remaking both? It would be cool to have a breakdown of what worked and what didn't...and what you're trying differently.
I do talk about it in different videos, but I could see it being a good idea to cover it all together in a single video. 😊
4500 is beautiful, think it needs more monster cichlids 😏
They are growing out now! 😁
Bro, that is epic. Amazing. You might need a bigger sand area for rays though. They get huge
You should get both species of semaprchilodus. That would look cool
The rays won't be limited to the sandy areas, but I wanted them to have a nice deep sand area to burrow in when they feel like it. 😀
those fish have gone from the hilton hotel to a Saudi Princes' palace lol Great upload mate :) You have created an aquatic standard of living for aquarium fish like other guys such as Ohio Fish Rescue.
If my channel influences anyone to keep fish in more natural ecosystem style aquariums of proper size for the fish, then I would consider it a great success! 😊
It's looking perfect! I really wish I could have had my fish room build done before you started this build. I believe I have come up with a great alternative for heating fish tanks in a fish room, and large scale tanks. I will have to build it and test it before I can share it, but I will be sharing it when I'm done. Thanks for sharing it definitely looks excellent sir!!! 😍😍😍😁
Looking forward to see what you build Jeff. I couldn't do my fish basement without Ductless mini splits, they are crazy efficient compared to any other heating/cooling/de-humidification solutions I have found.
great channel you have just the kind of stuff i want to see im building a plywood too thx for the help man
Thanks! What size tank are you building?
I've always loved peacocks but don't have the tank to keep them. You however do so i will live vicariously thru you. Can't wait to see them grow over the months to come. I've been keeping fish for over 45 years and i have 12 tanks african chiclids peas and haps plus tropheus also some planted tanks but you're build is just absolutely fatastic i love all you're tanks. I wish i had the strength and energy you have to do what you have done. I still can't get over what you have accomplished. now you're building two 1500 tanks to go along with everything else. All i can say is you're unbelievable i follow all kinds of fish keepers but no one has even come close to you. Again good job brother you're are inspirational. Later and god bless my friend.
Thank you, appreciate the kind words! And definitely 2024 is going to be a fun one in the aquarium basement! 😀😀
Looking great!
Thank you! Cheers! 😀
Hats off to you👏 all your hard works paid off! Stunning set up and those fish with their colours show it off a treat 😍
Well done indeed, enjoyed the whole build🙂
Thank you so much 😀
Beautiful tank...I love it!!!
Thank you!
That is about professional aquarium level tank LOL
Thanks! 😊
Such good content ! I really look forward to the videos ! I can’t wait to see what’s coming all of 2024!
Thank you! 2024 is going to be a monster year in the fish basement! 😀😀
Such an epic channel. I love your work mate 👍🏻🏴
Thank you! 😀
Man... how many hours of work you put in there? These are some bad ass tanks I have seen in a while.. I wish I had the space, knowledge and the skill to build tanks like these... Looking forward to your next video...
Thank you! Not sure on the exact hours, but it was a lot for sure, probably somewhere in the 10-20 hrs per week for about 3 months 😀
idea... in that long sump under future predator bay could add lighting and grow coral frags.
Definitely could, plan is to have a large refugium with macro algae...could throw some coral frags in there 😀
Definitely need an arowana in there.
I think at least two 😀
Have you thought about throwing some convicts (Central American - I know) in there to provide enough fry that the big guys have plenty of natural food, or do you think that might get out of control too fast?
I have concerns about the big fish constantly chasing little fish that will be near the hardscape and eventually tearing things up (even if built for big fish) and second being if for some reason I don't want the smaller fish anymore that there is no real way to un-ring that bell. 😀😀
Just amazing love it 🔥🔥🔥
Thanks! 😀
It would be cool to try a large school (100+) of something like zebra danios or rummy nose tetras. Something small and fast enough to not be worth chasing for the big fish. Like how King of DIY has bleeding heart tetras with his piranhas. Just to get some movement in there.
Peacock Bass would hunt them all down just for sport 😊
Them Fogos look awesome
Agreed! 😀
